The Forgotten Pantheon
The Forgotten Pantheon is not the most accurate title, rather they're called this because of the circumstances of their birth and their relatively unknown status and unwillingness to have worshipers. All four prefer to not associate with mortals if they can help it, although they're still deities and to retain their divine power they require followers. They're each very selective about who may follow them, although that makes them cherish each one even more and truly form a connection and bond with them. Clerics and Paladins of the Forgotten Pantheon are known to be far more powerful than the average Cleric or Paladin.
The Shiver
She/Her/Hers - Neutral Evil
Deity of Fear and Rejection Divine Creature: Bat Avatar: The Shiver has only been seen by her own followers, but those that have seen her say she's a beautiful woman with long black hair and solid black eyes and lips. Aside from this, she looks quite gentle and approachable, often wearing elegant gowns and having a calming smile. She's been described as over five feet tall, but under six; an oddity for a deity. Domains: Solidarity, Zeal Shiver is often thought to be purely evil by those that aren’t her worshipers, but she's actually closer to being chaotic neutral. She holds her followers in high regard and deeply appreciate each and every one of them and will often personally respond to prayers. She is the goddess of fear and rejection, but rather than spread fear and rejection, she works to eradicate it. |
The Weaver
He/Him/His - Chaotic Evil
God of Puzzles and Patterns Divine Creature: Spider Avatar: What little is known about The Weaver's form is often contradictory; his form is described as amorphous, black and red tendrils reaching out from a tall, thin form. He always has the solid white face with markings, although the face never moves or changes, even while speaking. Domains: Madness, Knowledge |
The Doe; The Lady in White
She/Her/Hers - Lawful Neutral
Goddess of Life and Reflections Divine Creature: White Doe Avatar: Much like The Shiver, The Doe has only been seen by her carefully chosen followers. She appears as a heavily veiled woman with dark gray skin and glowing blue eyes. Not much else of her can be seen and she is incredibly stoic. Domains: Life, Balance The Lady in White is far more lawful than often thought to be, she’s stoic and strict and believes in upholding morality and ethics. She also believes in harsh punishment and retribution. |
The Companion
They/Them/Theirs or He/Him/His - Neutral Good
Deity of Loyalty and Martyrs Divine Creature: Golden Retriever Avatar: The Companion is considered to be the most unassuming member of the Forgotten Pantheon. The only form they've been identified in, besides a golden retriever, is that of a young man in robes with long blonde hair. He can often be seen in crowds at public executions and is always present in some way for uprisings and trials. Domains: Protection, Grave |
